“Jesus looked at him and loved him.” Mark 10:21(a)  (ISV)

When Jesus looks at us, it is with the eyes of redemption, love, and understanding.  Knowing what we need before we ask. Knowing what hurts and exactly what will help.  Beloved one, you will never look into the eyes of another human being that Jesus, full of truth and grace, does not fully love.  And this most definitely, and most assuredly, includes you! 

Look cherished one, at yourself today, seeing what He sees—beauty and grace; accepted in perfection; love, pure and true—fully ransomed from sins scars, fully restored and redeemed.  Look with compassion and tender care upon yourself beloved and look with compassion on others too. Then remember—His unending and unconditional Love—faithful and true—is always looking out for, and looking after you!
